This is going to be long so sorry I’m advance ,I have posted on here before in regards to my mental health,
Quick back story for those who haven’t read my other threads.
I was sexually abused from the ages of 3-7 by my biological father and from the ages of 11-17 by my stepfather (he groomed our family after learning about my biological father)
I got married at 18 moved abroad with my husband and for 15 years we lived away from our local town my husband was made redundant from his job so we decided to move back to our local town I bumped into my stepfather and it triggered off flashbacks I decided I wanted to go to the police,
He was arrested and charged various sexual assault of a child and rape fast forward a year and we went to court this was extremely difficult.
I was sectioned a month after the trial as my mental health was so bad I have diagnosis of ptsd depression and anxiety.
I have been voluntaraily back in hospital twice since over the last 12 months the latest being 2 weeks ago.
I dependantly drink to cope with my emotions nightmares and flashbacks.
Since my last suicide attempt (have had at least three serious life threatening attempts) and 3 visits to a and e in the last month
Social services are now doing a section 47 child protection investigation
I’m devastated but I know my older child (17) has seen way too much
I’m so scared they will ask me to leave the family home till I’m sober/mental health under control 😢
My children are thriving in school never late are clean bright lovely children who do many out of school activities all of which I facilitate as my husband works away/long hours,
I wonder if anyone else with mental health or addiction problems have any dealings with social services and what I can expect I have got myself into such a state reading loads of info on the web
If you have got this far thank you Any support of advice is gratefully appreciated
